This role sits at the center of a fast-paced, high-stakes startup where your ability to anticipate needs, exercise discretion, and execute flawlessly will directly enable our leadership. You’ll keep both offices running smoothly so the team can stay focused on what they do best.

Event logistics: Manage event logistics, such as venue selection, catering, transportation, and technology needs
Workplace operations: Set new hires up for a great first day — building access, IT, and the welcoming details — and partner with IT and building management to keep both offices secure, accessible, and equipped so the team never has to worry about the basics
Supporting the Executive Team
Calendar assistance: Helping the executive team flag and resolve calendar conflicts so their time goes to high-priority work
Travel coordination: Assisting when needed with travel itineraries, accommodations, and logistics for the executive team
Expense management: Track and reconcile expenses for the executive team on an as-needed basis

The Right Mindset
Ownership mentality: You take full responsibility for your work from conception to production
Discretion: You bring a high level of professionalism and treat sensitive information with the discretion it requires
Anticipation: You proactively anticipate the needs of the executive team and the offices, identifying problems and solving them without waiting to be asked
Service-oriented: You take pride in making other people effective; your wins are measured by the time and energy you save the people you support
Detail-obsessed: You catch the small things others miss: an expired badge that needs renewing, or missing attendees on meeting invitations
Resourceful: When you don’t have an answer, you find one — asking the right person, learning a new tool, or piecing together information from multiple sources
